There's plenty of local flavor in this year’s Mr. and Miss Basketball Awards. In fact, one category has two nominees from the same school.

Two of the three Class Triple-A Miss Basketball Finalists are from Riverdale...Olivia Jones and Alexa Middleton. There are also two local boys nominated. Blackman’s Darius Thompson is a Class Triple-A Mr. Basketball finalist along with Middle Tennessee Christian School’s Derrick Spears in Class Single-A.

The Mr. and Miss Basketball Awards will be presented to the top girls and boys in five classifications of the T-Double-S-Double-A prior to the championship game awards presentation for each class, respectively.
